“I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest,” Cardi B, 32, wrote in a post on Instagram. “It breaks my heart that I wont get to see my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there.
“Bardi Gang — thank you for understanding and I’ll be back better and stronger soon.”
